Albert Parks's Statement shows That He
h No Thief.
1t seems doubtful now whether there is a
case against Albert Parks. the young man
who was arrested on Tuesday afternoon for
larceny. on complaint from Grand Rapids,
Michigan.
Young Parks has resided in Grand Rapids
for two years or more, and during the
whole of that time has boarded at Mrs.
Warren's. He is engaged 10 Mrs. War
ren's daughter. and was looked upon as a
member of the family. Four or five weeks
ago he had quarrel with another young
fellow, which resulted in fight. Parks
knocked his opponent through window and
the fellow got up. declaring that he would
have Parks arrested. The latter dreaded
arrest and, going immediately to Mrs. War
ren's took SIS which he had given her, she
being out of the house at the time. He
met Mrs. Warren rs he was leaving the
house and told her that he was going away
and also that he had taken the SIS. She
assured him that he was right and he then
told her he was coming to Springfield. He
has been here about a month and since his
arrival sent Mrs. Warren an order for 50. 20.
the amount due him from his employer at
the time he left. His arrest was secured
by son of Mrs. Warren. who learned that
Parks had taken the SIS. This son is said
TO be so worthless that his mother was com
PEELED, in self-defense. TO make him leave
her house. Since he was put in jail Parks
has had letters from both Mrs. Warren and
her daughter. He will probably be released
without being taken back to Michigan.

Hitherto the Frenchman has had a pro-
found belief ia the lottery, but he is now
beginning TO luse faith in it, from the fact
that the chances of drawing a prize are
disagreeably small and the chances Of
blanks unreasonably great. This has
compelled the organizers Of the lotteries,
with the concurrence of the government.
To resort To all sorts Of devices 10 force
their tickets down the throats of the pub
lie. Sixty per cent is knocked of in
order to induce shopkeepers to sell their
tickets, and the shopkeepers, in their
turn. offer the tickets at a reduced rice
in order 10 make the public buy them.
Instead Of getting an ordinary ticket for
admission To an exposition or fete. you
are frequently presented with lottery
ticket. which entities You to admission
and also to the chance--very slight indeed
of prize when the drawing takes
place. When such dodgcs are resOrted 10
in order to get rid of tickets, it clearly
shows that the faith in lotteries here
though they are looked after by the state
is declining. IL seems likely, indeed,
that they will soon die natural death
